- Southern Witchcrafts (southernwitchc...) is an artisan soap and aftershave maker based in Georgia. The brand began in 2017 and is owned by Courtney Brooks and Stephen Joiner. Joiner, is also the owner of the artisan brush company, Dogwood Handcrafts (dogwoodhandcra.... Anthropophagy is a Spring seasonal release from SW. Southern Witchcrafts focus is on providing high quality vegan shaving products with scents that are interesting and unique. In addition to ordering directly, Southern Witchcrafts can be purchased at Maggard Razors (www.maggardrazo...) and Top of the Chain (topofthechain.....
Anthropophagy pays homage to Thomas Harris, the creator of Hannibal Lecter, the protagonist in the all time great film, Silence of the lambs. The fragrance is modeled after a hand cream that is said to have been used by Lecter, and present on the letters he sent to Clarice Starling in the film. Scent notes feature: Tonka bean, musk, lavender, cotton, amyris wood and hedione. True to form, the fragrance is a soft, clean smelling accord highlighted by lavender and cotton. Mrs. Ruds is neutral on this one. She finds it somewhat pleasant but not something she gravitates to me wearing. Strength of scent is mid-strong once lathered. Try That Soap (trythatsoap.com/) recommends Soap Commander Devotion as a comparable scent profile.
Southern Witchcrafts uses a soap base of the vegan variety. The bases ingredients are listed as: Water, stearic acid, shea butter, castor oil, potassium hydroxide, glycerine, coconut oil, sodium lactate, sodium hydroxide, jojoba oil, aloe powder, liquid aloe, isopropyl myristate, kaolin clay and fragrance. The soap is soft to mid on the firmness spectrum. The soap base loads easily and lathers with very little effort. It is of normal thirst and whips into a lather that will have the consistency of cool whip. The slickness of this soap is excellent in both the visible slickness area as well as a secondary slickness. Post shave, like slickness is excellent as well. The oils and butters provide a luxurious feeling on the skin post shave. Given my experience with this soap base, it receives a ShaveScore of 92. Soap bases with similar performance are: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements (CK-6) and Wholly Kaw (vegan).

Ruds I really like your reviews. Bottom line up front, no BS, and your reviews are on point! Love it!
I appreciate that!
Hi Ruds- Great shave and soap review; thank you! Beautiful lather and scent profile on this SW soap! I hope you are doing well. Take good care, be safe and have a great Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 Best regards, as always!
Thank you Mike!
Amazing review Ruds! I hope you're well.
Thank you Samuel. All is well here and wishing the same for you.
I always enjoy your reviews. This one sounds interesting. I have a couple of soaps and aftershaves from Southern Witchcrafts and I do enjoy them all.
Thank you for your support.
Your videos are always so complete, making for great ideas as to what one would be with the product.
Thank you Jill.
That's some amazing looking lather. As always, another great review, good sir.
Thank you kindly.
Great shave and review, Ruds! "Silence of the Lambs" Is such a great movie, I might have to pick this up just for the reference. My 1st experience with a SW scent was Lycanthropy. I really wasn't sure about the scent at 1st, but I kept coming back to it until the soap sample was gone. Southern Witchcrafts scents can be diff/edgy, but definitely worth the chance.
Cheers! -Rob
Thanks my Man!
Great looking lather! Thanks
Thanks my friend.
I was just talking and thinking about this one, thanks for the review!
Awesome! Thank you for the support.
What’s good Ruds !!
Nice review as always
It rubs the lather on the skin or else it gets the razor again
😂🤣
Thanks for your support.
Hi, a bit irrelevant to this video review. But out of all the different knots you've tried from Declaration Grooming (B4 and so on), what was the difference between them? Which one do you prefer and why?
Great question. The differences are in the badger hair sourced at the time. Batch hair has a lot of variety to it. Some is softer, some is more fine, some is stiffer. The end result creates a unique experience with each batch. To date, my favorite batch was B3. I enjoy a stiffer hair with tips that are not overly soft.

That's good to know! Seems we have similar taste. Thanks for the answer!
Nice review! What razor are you using in this video?
That's a HomeLikeShaving Start razor.
Imposssible to break down the lather from SW Ruds!
It takes a ton of water for sure!
Homelike Start review incoming?
Indeed. Sometime this week.
What does cotton smell like?🤔
Clean to my nose.
@@dendj55- 😂 What's the note... fabric softener? Never thought of it having a scent.
The accord definitely smells like a mild fabric softener. I’m not sure if I can pick out the cotton by itself. I’m assuming the clean quality is a result of cotton.
